Bratislava in movement: Yuri Korec & Co. (SK): THE STORY

Five bodies in the main role of a dance sci-fi

Juraj Korec and his team were inspired by sci-fi poetics, where the human body often finds itself in unusual, even inhospitable conditions, facing surprising challenges. They created a specific playing situation for five bodies. In it, spatiotemporal coordinates do not apply, there is no horizon, seemingly neither past nor progress exists. Movement is possible, but only backward. Where can one go if one can only backtrack? Who are these five, why and how did they find themselves in this peculiar situation? At what moment will their story stop, and what will they face in the captivity of an inexorable algorithm?

The international co-production dance project THE STORY narrates with the body, employing a radical strategy in which the perspectives of performers and spectators never meet.

This event is organised by the Bratislava in movement festival, so the A4 annual membership card does not apply.
